L Liakos Theodorou WHY LIMASSOL? imassol represents a vital part of the country’s economic activity and, as such, it serves as a major base for the operations of PwC. Currently around 200 professionals including 14 Partners and Directors are operating out of our Limassol office. I believe that apart from its infrastructure and its long sea front, Limassol has something different from all the other towns. It is a business centre and, at the same time, a marvellous cosmopolitan Mediterranean resort. This is one of the reasons for the preference shown by European and Russian business people and their families to live in Limassol. The city’s excellent infrastructure, ease of accessibility by both sea and air combined with the pleasant lifestyle has contributed in the development of Limassol into a popular international and maritime centre. The shipping industry continues to grow and Limassol is one of the world’s leading shipmanagement centres. But Limassol is not just a city for doing business. It offers top class hotels, restaurants, clubs and a huge choice of other wine-and- dine venues! Home to the famous Carnival and Wine Festival, it offers residents and visitors a wide range of activities and places to visit. The climate, safety and hospitality are only some of the factors which make Limassol a good place to live. In addition, the establishment of the Cyprus University of Technology, the revival of the old town centre around the Mediaeval Castle and the old market place and the construction of the Limassol Marina are projects that have and will continue to contribute in the development of the city.
